If you like homemade stuffing that’s crunchy and crisp on top, soft and tender underneath, and packed full of flavour, then this is the one for you!

By itself as a regular sausage, herb and bread casserole, this is delicious, but add the apple and shredded ham and you’ve pretty much got a meal in itself.

The sharpness of the apple works really well with the saltiness of the ham.

I tend to use Bramley cooking apples, but something like Granny Smith’s apples work well too.

I like to make this with chunks of bread that have been pre-cooked for extra crunch factor, but if you like your stuffing softer, then you don’t need to cook the bread beforehand. You can also add another cup of broth if you like it extra soft underneath.

Serve it up as a Thanksgiving side dish that will have everyone going back for seconds!
